What's wrong with Python that you want an alternative?
- vultour 4y agoDynamic typing. Dealing with structured data and (de)serialisation was a major pain. To me Go feels like a stricter python, still having enough freedom to do most things relatively easily, but not having to worry about what's being passed around.

- SergeAx 4y agoInteresting, three replies and all about strict types. In my own experience moving to Go from PHP downsides was exactly strict typing and (de)serialization. It is a major pain to handle variable JSON schemas, especially in verbose multi-nested objects in Go without falling back to reflections, which is faux pas there.
